ok, ok, so I need help, hears the problem, Miss Possum has asked to to have a small weather station installed in the kitchen but none of that el'cheapo crap from Kmart or Bunnings. [SHE WANT"S ME TO MAKE HER ONE] yes you herd that right. so off I went to get the stuff I will need, stuff like timber gauges and the like.
now I'm an old bugger so using these new water based finishes is not going to happen, it will be the one and only shellac now for the problem, I have a very nice piece of red ceder [that's eastern Australian red ceder] that some nong has socked it in linseed oil, can I still use the SHELLAC over the linseed ??????????????????hellpppppppppppppppppp Paul -------------------- bugger it's sold,got meself a house instead

SHELLAC is just a sealer mr parrot very handy when sealing off the furry ends of mdf board prior to painting
Not 100% certain but cant see prob using it over the oiled timber, just try some over a sample area And dont pay any attention to the so called trained staff @ bunnings never met such a bunch of clueless idiots in my life occasionally ewe'll get one who knows the products buts that's very rare -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

NOT Recommended
Transparent, non-flexible, film-forming finishes such as lacquer, shellac, urethane, and varnish are not recommended for exterior use on cedar. Ultraviolet radiation will penetrate the transparent film (even with UV inhibitors) and degrade the wood surface. No matter how many coats you apply, the finish will eventually become brittle, then crack and blister - and will ultimately fail. If you do decide to apply a polyurethane, or similar, transparent finish - don't say we didn't warn you. A clear finish using any of a wide variety of clear finishes is acceptable for interior furniture. As with any interior furniture, exercise caution in allowing the furniture to receive too much direct sunlight. -------------------- ![]() |

The best for cedar is either Tung oil or linseed oil

all is not lost, possum and I were out looking around the junk shops around the place, you know the ones, they claim to sell antiques [but most of it is rubbish] in one of these shops I got lucky, and found, in a dark and dingy corner a really nice piece of end grain red ceder
I'm still to decide what side I will polish as i looks like it was hacked off with a knife and fork, it may look ok in the photo as i gave it a quick rub with some 120 grit paper. the first photo has the piece socked in linseed in it Paul know idea whats happened to the other photo ??????????????? got it back ![]()

thanks every one, I have wondered about that my self Fed, my lovely lady would come home from the beach and tie the stones to a piece of string and just smile when asked about them so when i asked her on your behalf, she said she is going to make some wind chimes, and so she's going to call them 90mile chimes.
how come she answers your questions Fed and not mine???????????????????????? Paul ![]() -------------------- bugger it's sold,got meself a house instead

I see her handiwork every time I drive to Goulburn, at the turnoff to Hanging Rock. She has been tying a big rock, dangling under the sign, hasn't she. The RTA doesn't like it, Possum. Stop it.
